Ouzadiko
€€
MEZEDHES
The basement location in the Lemos Centre lets it down, but Ouzadiko is nonetheless cosy
and renowned for its refined regional mezedhes and huge range of Greek dishes, washed
down with an ouzo or two from its extensive selection. In summer, tables fill an interior
courtyard. Bookings advisable.
